2008-04-11T03:49:46ZEnriqueFIRE!
Last time, I wrote about how I was making enchiladas and set off the fire alarm in the dorm.
I met with the Hall Coordinator and we discussed the event, etc. I was found guilty (surprise, surprise), and verbally reprimanded, which only sounds bad.
Renee did a grand service in taking pictures of the incident and posting [...]I wish I knew this before I came to college…http://www.utexas.edu/inside_ut/lconf/2008/04/i_wish_i_knew_this_before_i_came_to_coll/
2008-04-11T03:36:30ZEnriqueWell fellow readers, time makes us older and wiser. My days as a blogger are quickly coming to an end, but I will not go gently into the light.
As I’ve mentioned before, I work at Freshman Admissions. I offer tours and talk to prospective students all day, and I love it. There are a couple [...]Dorm Life: What They Don’t Say in the Manualshttp://www.utexas.edu/inside_ut/lconf/2008/03/dorm_life_what_they_don_t_say_in_the_man/
2008-03-20T05:12:47ZEnriqueI am not one to speak ill of institutions here at UT. However, my job as a blogger is to give the outside world a view of what life is like through the eyes of a student.
Last week, we had Spring Break. I work at The Office of Admissions so it’s the busiest week of [...]The Return of the Midtermshttp://www.utexas.edu/inside_ut/lconf/2008/03/the_return_of_the_midterms_1/
2008-03-05T15:11:58ZEnriqueMidterms: Can’t live with them, can’t graduate without them (I realize this is poor grammar, and that yesterday was National Grammar Day, etc., but I had to write that in order to prove a point).
Well, this week is the week before Spring Break. Professors think it’s polite to deluge students with insane amounts of studying [...]Quarter semester in, but there’s something missinghttp://www.utexas.edu/inside_ut/lconf/2008/02/quarter_semester_in_but_there_s_somethin_2/
2008-02-11T04:21:19ZEnriqueI should be studying for my Astronomy exam tomorrow, but it’s such a beautiful night that I couldn’t resist opening my window and just looking up at the smoggy stars. That’s when it hit me.
Every semester since I’ve come to UT, I’ve had a very difficult time with this time: exams time. I had two [...]The Finer Things…http://www.utexas.edu/inside_ut/lconf/2008/02/the_finer_things_1/
2008-02-07T01:31:34ZEnriqueLittle known fact about UT… it’s not as big as people make it out to be. Sure, we have over 50,000 students, 20,000-ish staff and faculty, but you can still find yourself in this crowd of people.
One way to do this is to join organizations. 99% of my friends/acquaintances I’ve met through class, organizations, or [...]“A picture is worth 1000 words:” I have severalhttp://www.utexas.edu/inside_ut/lconf/2008/02/a_picture_is_worth_1000_words_i_have_sev/
2008-02-01T01:23:41ZEnriqueI promised long ago that I’d figure out how to load pictures, and thanks to Ms. Nyleva Corley (She’s one of many people who work behind the scenes to make this project possible), her patience, and my finally realizing this blog’s potential, I’ve posted highlights of my Junior year in college… so far.
Do enjoy!

2008-01-17T01:29:57ZEnriqueCAPTAIN OBVIOUS STRIKES AGAIN!
Well, much to my surprise, I’ve been denied entry into the Finer Things Club, a.k.a. The College of Communication. It’s alright though, I feel that this is a form of divine intervention that is shouting “Enrique! No!” It still hurts though.
I am registered to go to New York in March through a [...]Jingle bells! Jingle bells!http://www.utexas.edu/inside_ut/lconf/2007/12/jingle_bells_jingle_bells/
2007-12-18T20:35:09ZEnriqueI made it. Christmas vacation is so, so near.
This semester has been a great learning experience for me. I’d like to share such random thoughts with you all as a gift of knowledge this holiday season:
Taking 15 hours of classes and keeping two jobs isn’t very difficult. The difficult part is realizing that you jumped [...]Time Won’t Let Me Gohttp://www.utexas.edu/inside_ut/lconf/2007/11/time_won_t_let_me_go/
2007-11-29T15:42:41ZEnriqueWell, well, well… it has been a while, and for that my humble apologies.
Since it has been a while, I’ve decided to break down my occurrences by categories.
ACADEMIA
School has been very hectic. Essays here, there and everywhere. It’s like the Electric Slide. I’ve seen in my years here that Liberal Arts Majors tend to have [...]
